FO No. 6 of 19: Mini Hexagon Blanket

Published by

Hello, gorgeous crafter! Today, I have another WIP to FO reveal for you. I am so determined to finish these blankets and telling you about it is keeping me accountable. As I complete each blanket, I will be updating the WIP entry In the WIP pile reveal post. Check back on it to follow my WIP to FO journey! There isn’t really any order that I am finishing these in either, so expect them to be fairly random. I tried to organize them in a way that made sense, but after all was said and done, it just made the most sense to go with my creative gut and finish whichever one I wanted to work on next. Here’s my Mini Hexagon Blanket that is now finished! I’ll be adding in FO pics and links to all of the WIP -> FO blog posts on the WIP pile reveal post.

The OG Vibrant Vintage Blankets: A Bright Walk Down Memory Lane!

Published by

Hello, lovely crafter! Today I was thinking about my next VVCAL (2026) and I started reminiscing about how my love for “vibrant vintage” started. Folks have asked over the years, what does “VVCAL” stand for? Well, it stands for “Vibrant Vintage Crochet-Along”, and before the CALs ever came to be, I was deeeep in a phase of creating vintage looking crochet pieces, but with wildly bright and funky yarn colors. I just could not get over taking those traditional grandmother type pieces, and making them in technicolor. I made quite a few of these very bright pieces and I wanted to share them with you today! OGs will remember these from way back when CypressTextiles was “BabyLove Brand” in like 2012-2013, but in case you haven’t been following for that long, you’re in for a treat. Let’s take a look at these pretty pieces!

Free Crochet Pattern: Birdsong Blanket (UK Terms)

Published by

Hello, gorgeous crafter! Today I want to share a crochet pattern that is from 2017 – around the time that I thought I was going to start a crochet magazine. Then I realized just how much work it really was and slowly let go of the idea. Throughout all these years, there has only been a paid PDF version of the Birdsong Crochet Blanket Pattern, but now I want to release the free version in an effort to continually make sure all of my patterns are accessible to everyone. This pattern is one of a few that I have written which are inspired by the arts of an instagrammer named Jessica who no longer runs her account. I’ll keep her info private just because one of the reasons she left IG was for more privacy. But I was quite inspired by her works when she was posting, and she was always making magic with markers and paper. One day, she shared an illustration with me that had me pulling a palette of yarn from my …
